Sun Badger Solar up and running!
Very positive experience from the sales process through after sale support. A small supply chain delay (no surprise) and schedule juggling, but all the staff with whom I worked were professional, friendly, and worked together as a team. Only "oops" was missing the Critter Guard, but I'll be okay. Highly recommend the company.

Electrician
What made this process helpful was the sales consultant and the electrician! Sales guy Nick G was awesome! Always there and when I had a problem reached out to him and he got people involved to figure it out. He is also down to earth and understands what your looking for. Never tried to sell me garbage or stuff I didn’t need. Told him what I needed it to do and he made it happen. During install the electrician was awesome! He did some of the amazing work to make sure it looked better then it was before hand. I’m particular how I want things and he went above and beyond my standards. He hid made it look like it was supposed to be there from the start and his service was awesome. Cleaned up after himself apologized when he couldn’t clean it up better. Let us know when he was coming or going but the most important thing was he had good insight into the solar performance as he has his own. Overall I would work with this company again and recommend working with Nick G to help make it happen. I would don’t know all there electricians but I wouldn’t want anyone else beside the guy who installed mine. I can’t remember his name but definitely knows Customer service and having a professional finished product

Great experience with solar array installation
I had a very positive experience with Sun Badger, from the beginning of the process through to to interconnection. My sales person (Jim) was super helpful and accommodating in answering my many questions, and was great about guiding me towards the right solution for my needs, rather than just maximizing my array size. Then post-sale Sun Badger was great about keeping me up to date on progress and when things were going to be happening. The only hiccups I had in the process were due to the utility company being slow to schedule and sometimes not communicating things, but that's certainly not Sun Badger's fault. After interconnection they also did a great job of getting me up and running with the monitoring app. Based on my experience, I would enthusiastically recommend working with Sun Badger for solar needs.

Did what they said
I applied to my HOA for permission to install solar on the roof of my Minnesota home and was denied. I thought that if the board had more information they might reconsider and suggested an informational meeting that I would host for them and other HOA members. (Thirty-five members came) Sun Badger sent one of their best sales people and the municipal utility sent the electric utility director to help present information. That was the beginning of my relationship with Sun Badger Solar. The board changed the no to yes and adopted a solar policy. That was in November. On June 9th the install was completed and the panels began producing electricity. The process was not quick but Sun Badger was organized and delivered on what they said. All of my contacts with the people there were professional and attentive. I liked them well enough that I recommended them to my daughter and son-in-law’s system. Sun Badger will be installed in the next couple of months.

Wonderful experience from start to finish
Working with Sun Badger has been a great experience. We spoke with several other solar companies and Sun Badger was by far the best. Everyone we worked with was kind and professional.

In working with this company it has been the most painless experience, they worked with in the budget and needs I asked for, they keep me updated through the entire process, and we're quick to respond to any inquiries. What more can I say then can't wait to work with them again to expand my system.

I highly recommend Sun Badger Solar
My experience with Sun Badger Solar has been extremely positive. They exceeded expectations from beginning to end of the sales, installation and government/utility process. One of the significant factors in choosing Sun Badger is they have a comprehensive installation process that includes the planning, financing, working through all permitting, installation and monitoring. My time involvement after making the decision to go with Sun Badger for my installation was minimal - digital communications, a site visit, letting the installers into my house for each 3 days of installation and meeting the city inspector for about a half hour for his inspection. My understanding is that Sun Badger has its own installers do the vast majority of their installations. They actually had Home Team Electric perform my install. Home Team did a great job. I had 23 panels installed, plus had my panel upgraded from 100 amp to 200 amp. I have a detached garage, that panels were installed on, so Home Team also ran a wire for a 240 Volt EV charging port to the garage. This work included trenching and cutting a small amount of concrete. The installers did a great job of both planning and execution. Everything was completed in about 2.5 days, which included rain on 1.5 of the days. They left everything cleaner than they left it. The inspector had one small issue which was fixed within days of when the inspector came. The system was also approved by We Energies and then producing power within less than 2 weeks of installation. I chose the financing option that Sun Badger offered through Sunlight Financial as I did not have the funds available for a full solar project and electrical upgrades needed for the project I wanted to do. If you are not planning to sell your house for a while, I highly recommend this option. I received my first electric bill and my Sunlight Financial bill is already less than the savings on my energy bill. This is with the extra generating capacity I added to my system for a future electric car purchase, and the electrical upgrades that I included in the financing. One thing - I would not recommend getting capacity beyond use in the We Energies service area in Wisconsin, as they pay wholesale prices for the energy you sell back. When you see on an energy bill how little that is, you just shake your head. Once the system is installed, you can monitor production every day through the Sun Badger app on your phone - seeing how much each panel produces, production by 15 minute increments, daily, weekly and monthly production. It is cool to see. I found Sun Badger delivered completely on what I was sold in my initial Zoom meeting. Their representatives have been professional and communicative and very good at explaining the overall process step-by-step. If you are considering a home solar panel installation, I highly recommend Sun Badger Solar.

Great experience and performance delivery
Our system went into service May 26, earlier than expected, and is delivering as promised! Sun Badger folks were extremely helpful and responsive, and professional, throughout the purchase, permitting, and installation process. We chose Sun Badger after considering a competitor, and felt the Sun Badger equipment and funding process was superior, and their technical qualifications hit all the items in a checklist provided by our utility for solar provider selection. Sun Badger was responsive to questions throughout the process, and even provided a solution to our weak home WiFi signal, in order to get system communications on-line for performance monitoring. Self-monitoring is kind of fun through the Sun Badger app, but 3 years of advanced monitoring and diagnostics, with automatic alarming and call out of a maintenance professional are provided free of charge. This covers the period when "infant mortality" component failures would be expected.

Solar panels
I’m very happy choosing Sun badger to install my solar panels. I researched several companies and sun badger stood out. Biggest thing for me was warranty and industry leading solar panel. Service was fantastic. Constant email communication step by step of entire process. Pretty long process to get to installation. Installation done in one day.

Seamless
I loved having Sun Badger in charge of my solar install! The value of having a company do all of the paperwork and design of the system is priceless! Highly recommend.
